The lovely Boxing Day gesture from Cardiff City players to their fans
Cardiff City players hand over their match shirts to travelling supporters at the end of the match
Neil Warnock has once again lavished praise on Cardiff City's superb travelling fans, who were treated to a special gesture at the end of the Bluebirds' hard-fought 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.
Warnock made a point of instructing his side to applaud the 1,700 away end, with the players handing over shirts to supporters in the crowd.
Many of the lucky recipients were children, who looked delighted, as the pictures in the gallery below show.

Such scenes are not unique to Cardiff, but it hinted at the special bond Warnock was keen to discuss in his post-match press conference, adding that the passion of the Bluebirds faithful could prove the decider in helping them over the line in the battle to avoid relegation.
He said: "When you've got fans like that and a club supporting you, you've always got a chance. Our dressing room is our strength, but I think we play a lot more than we get credit for.
"I think that lads get tainted because they're my team, whereas I think we play as well as a lot of teams in the league and we've got a bit of steel about us."
"I'm really pleased for the fans. We've had one point in I don't know how many games. To keep that volume up is unbelievable, so all credit to them."
